BRITISH COLUMBIA COSMOPOLITAN CULTURE, RIVETING BEAUTY & ENDLESS OUTDOOR THRILLS

Super, Natural Bordered by the Pacific Ocean to the west and the magnificent Rocky Mountains to the east, beautiful British Columbia is part outdoor playground, part cosmopolitan nexus, full of diverse scenery and diverse cultures – all in all, the best that Canada has to offer. This vast province, arguably the country’s most picturesque, is a sprawling testament to Canada’s postcard-perfect majesty: snowcapped mountains rising from clouded forests, winding, icy rivers teeming with trout, horse-drawn carriages clomping past treelined streets. Add to British Colombia’s riveting beauty its winning blend of cosmopolitan culture, laid-back attitude, and endless outdoor thrills, and you have one of Canada’s all-around greatest vacation destinations.

Vancouver Vancouverites have long known why their beautiful city is regularly invoked as being among the world’s most livable urban areas. Simply put, few cities are as clean, friendly, multicultural, modern, active, eminently walkable, safe, and exciting. It’s Canada’s version of West Coast Cool. As the gracious host of the 2010 Winter Olympics, Vancouver is no stranger to hospitality. Nestled between the Coast Mountains and the Pacific Ocean, this zestful city is destined to be experienced. Wander the fragrant, English-style Rose Garden nestled at the heart of 1,000acre Stanley Park, and shop hip Granville Island’s vibrant Public Market for fresh flowers, produce, seafood, and baked goods.

Whistler Some things are beyond our control, like falling in love with the Whistler Mountain and its mile-long list of diversions, such as indulging in outdoor sports on over 8,000 acres of skiable terrain from November through July. Home to the 2010 Winter Olympics, this awesome mountain resort town has earned its bragging rights for a lifetime with 8,000 acres of North America’s largest ski terrain (with 38 lifts carrying skiers to 12 bowls), 17 mountain restaurants, over 200 trails, and North America’s highest vertical drop. After dark, sip a hot chocolate or enjoy a microbrew off Whistler’s Village Square, or dine on fresh sushi or Spanish tapas.

Victoria Victoria – known as the “City of Gardens” for its green parks and flowery show gardens – is also a gold mine of venerable architecture. The semblance of British ancestry lives on in its enchanting Butchart Gardens, horse-drawn carriages, double-decker buses, and historic Inner Harbor. Climb 87 stairs of the charming Craigdarroch Castle for spectacular views of Victoria.

BRITISH COLUMBIA: ITINERARY

Historic Steam Clock, Gastown, Vancouver

BRITISH COLUMBIA SUGGESTED ITINERARY BY OUR EXPERTS 9 Days / 8 Nights • Vancouver • Victoria • Whistler Days 1-4: Vancouver

Days 6-9: Whistler

Vibrant Vancouver welcomes you. Explore the city and its culinary treats, take the World’s Best Food Truck Tour and experience all the street eats of the city. Head to fun-filled Granville Island, a post-industrial warehouse district turned hip hangout, where the vibrant Public Market is a hive of activity, offering fresh flowers, produce, seafood, exotic gourmet ingredients, and baked goods. Fulfill your shopping bug at the fashionable boutiques of Robson Street.

Head north for a two-hour drive along the Sea to Sky Highway to gorgeous, sports-mad Whistler. No matter the season, there is something to enjoy in this magical mountain city. Depending on the season, you can enjoy skiing, snowmobiling, hiking, biking, whitewater rafting, or golfing. Catch a gondola ride to 6,000 feet up the mountain, where the horizon views are unmatched anywhere in North America. Experience the treetops of Whistler’s ancient forest canopy while zip-lining from five stories above Fitzsimmons Creek.

Sit back on a fully narrated Vancouver Harbour cruise, booked by your travel consultant, and experience a different view of the city via the Burrard Inlet (Canada’s “Gateway to the Pacific”) past famous Stanley Park, the busy cruise ship terminals, the spectacular city skyline, historic Gastown, and the breathtaking North Shore Mountains. If you are visiting from April to October, enjoy the whale watching tour your travel consultant also arranged, and spot orcas and humpbacks. After dark, Granville Street’s bars and nightclubs hum with activity.

Spend an afternoon at Whistler Farmer’s Market, and cap off the evening with dinner and dancing at an après-ski spot. There’s plenty of entertainment in Whistler Village, with top DJs in the dance clubs and a vibrant live music scene. When the sun goes down, dial into party mode, put on your dancing shoes, and head for the nightclubs. The next day, wake up to experience true wilderness bliss once more, perhaps with a coffee and a maple bacon doughnut, before departing for Vancouver.

Day 5: Victoria Depart Vancouver Harbour by seaplane for an exciting flight over the Gulf Islands to beautiful Victoria, the capital of British Colombia. Fans of preserved heritage buildings will head straight to the Provincial Legislative Buildings and the Royal British Columbia Museum downtown, the exquisite Arts & Crafts-style homes in the Rockland neighborhood, and the stately Edwardian mansions in Uplands, a gold mine of distinctive architecture. Take a coach tour to the Victoria Butterfly Gardens and the famous Butchart Gardens, but spare some time for shopping as well as exploring Canada’s oldest Chinatown district. Take the ferry back to Vancouver for beautiful views along the way.

ALBERTA THE HEART OF WILDERNESS CANADA

A Province of Contrasts Alberta has come a long way since its days as a rugged Canadian outpost where cowboys and fur traders reigned. Today, it has evolved into one of Canada’s most dynamic provinces, blending modern sophistication with a rugged Western charm. With snowcapped mountains and diamond-glass glacial lakes rubbing shoulders with energetic cities and lunar badlands, both North America’s largest mall and one of its abundant collection of fossils, the continent’s biggest nonpolar icefield and the world’s second largest oil reserve, Alberta is a province of unexpected superlatives.

Banff & Lake Louise Nestled in Banff National Park, the charming towns of Banff and Lake Louise are spectacular mountain retreats rich with world-class accommodations, abundant wildlife, four-season recreation, and unparalleled skiing in a protected National Park setting. After a chilly day on the slopes or a taxing day hiking the trails, sink into the naturally heated Banff Upper Hot Springs, or catch spectacular views of the Canadian Rockies on an awe-inspiring gondola ride. The “Jewel of the Rockies,” Lake Louise is an outdoor enthusiast’s paradise of trail riding, hiking, canoeing, rafting, and mountain biking in summer, and the thrill of world-class ski slopes in winter.

Jasper Follow the glaciers, waterfalls, and limestone gorges of the majestic Icefields Parkway to nearby Jasper, part of the UNESCO Canadian Rocky Mountain Parks World Heritage Site. Take an afternoon drive through the sun-dappled parklands, and spot thriving game like mountain sheep, grizzly bears, wolves, elk, caribou, and mountain goats. Life in Jasper is centered in the downtown district, which boasts a number of top restaurants, shopping areas, hotels, museums, and tourist attractions. Popular excursions from Jasper include trips to the nearby Patricia and Pyramid Lakes, Annette and Edith Lakes, and also the Monashee Mountains, all of which offer a range of recreational activities.

Calgary & Edmonton The glittering skyscrapers of Calgary tower above a city full of throbbing energy and Western charm. Host of the 1988 Winter Olympics, it’s also packed with theater, art, dance, music, and more than 6,000 restaurants. Connect with your inner cowboy at the Calgary Stampede – a 10-day-long rodeo and festival. Ensconced in a scenic river valley, busy Edmonton is the provincial capital of Alberta and the county’s second most populous provincial capital after Toronto. Stroll the over six million square feet of shops, dining, and entertainment at West Edmonton Mall, North America’s largest shopping mall.

ALBERTA SUGGESTED ITINERARY BY OUR EXPERTS 10 Days / 9 Nights • Calgary • Banff • Lake Louise • Icefields Parkway • Jasper • Edmonton Days 1-3: Calgary

Days 8-9: Jasper

Arrive in Calgary, Alberta’s largest city, and in 1988, the first Canadian city to host the Winter Olympic Games. In this all-season, athletics-oriented town that lures skiers and mountain bikers alike, check out Olympic Park, still used as a training ground for the Canadian national teams. You can experience a gold medal-level adrenaline rush as you speed down a 1,500-meter track on a real bobsled. Start with a trip back in time to the Wild West in Heritage Park, especially if traveling with little ones. Ride to the top of the Calgary Tower for a bird’s-eye view of the city, and then down to a great meal at one of the city’s thousands of restaurants, with options ranging from Greek to Mexican to Thai.

Take the Ice Explorer ride across the Athabasca Glacier, and stroll out on the Glacier Skywalk’s glass-floored observation platform for unparalleled views over spectacular glacier-formed valleys and rushing waterfalls. Go hiking in Jasper National Park, and fly-fish for Northern Pike, rainbow trout, and Eastern Brook Trout at Maligne Lake. In winter, gear up for skiing and snowboarding in nearby Marmot Basin. Wake up on your final day and take in the unspoiled wilderness one last time.

Days 4-5: Banff Head west to Banff, the very picture of small-town charm. Step into a world of abundant wildlife and year-round recreation in a protected national park setting. At any time of year, hop onto the Banff Sightseeing Gondola to catch spectacular views of the Canadian Rockies and the town of Banff, and dip into the Banff Upper Hot Springs to luxuriate in the comfort of this historic spa.

Day 10: Edmonton End your Alberta adventure in the province’s capital. Visit the Old Strathcona district, known for its numerous festivals, before stopping by the famous farmers market, the galleries, and shops. Plan to spend some time at the West Edmonton Mall, the largest shopping and entertainment complex in North America, with more than 800 stores, 100 restaurants, and two hotels. Looking just to relax? Take a stroll through one of the 22 parks that stretch along the North Saskatchewan River and enjoy the Canadian breeze before departing.

Day 6: Lake Louise Further north, Lake Louise – the “Jewel of the Rockies” – is a quaint village offering a range of travel amenities, fabulous dining experiences, local shops, and distinctive accommodations. Ideally situated in a small glacial valley, it’s surrounded by impressive ice-capped mountains. Get into trail riding, hiking, canoeing, rafting, and mountain biking in summer, and pull on your ski boots for the thrill of record-breaking ski slopes in winter.

Day 7: Icefields Parkway Follow the Icefields Parkway north to nearby Jasper, part of the UNESCO Canadian Rocky Mountain Parks World Heritage Site. Grizzly bears, wolves, elk, caribou, mountain goats, and many other beautiful creatures thrive here, and you’ll most likely spot some of them while driving through the park. Calgary Peace Bridge

ONTARIO BIG CITIES, CHARMING TOWNS & WORLD-CLASS NATURAL WONDERS

Yours to Discover Urbane and sophisticated, multi-cultural and cosmopolitan, Ontario delights with stunning entertainment, mouth-watering dining, and a lifetime’s worth of festivals, shopping, and nightlife. This is Canada at its dynamic best. With thousands of annual festivals celebrating everything from beer to Shakespeare, bustling cities awash in year-round activity, and four seasons of sights, sounds, and scenery, there’s never a bad time to visit this high-energy province.

Ottawa Ottawa, the nation’s capital, straddles two cultures in a dynamic that fuses this North American city with a distinctly European charm and flair. Its wealth of enriching attractions is topped by formidable Parliament Hill – be sure to catch the “Changing of the Guard” ceremony. Meander along the banks of the Rideau Canal – a UNESCO World Heritage Site – and watch boats being lifted by 150-year-old hand-operated locks, then cap off the evening with a nightcap at one of trendy Byward Market’s popular pubs.

Toronto More than just a destination, Toronto is an experience. It’s a true international city, a vibrant mosaic of different cultures mingling in a friendly ambiance that’s tuned-in and turned-on to artistic expression of all kinds, with more than 100 museums and archives, 50 ballet and dance companies, six opera companies, two symphony orchestras, over 90 performing arts venues, and upwards of 1,000 festivals and events year-round. Catch a Blue Jays game at Rogers Centre in the summer, or cheer on the Maple Leafs at the Air Canada Centre in the winter. You can shop for everything from designer fashions to oneof-a-kind items in chic boutiques and a huge glass emporium in the heart of downtown.

Niagara Falls Not far from Toronto, Niagara Falls is the “Honeymoon Capital of the World” and namesake of one of the planet’s most celebrated natural wonders.

Days 7-8: Niagara-on-the-Lake

Enjoy your first day in Ontario roaming Toronto and mingling with locals who are so welcoming, the city has earned the title of “North America’s Friendliest City.” If your stomach’s rumbling, head over to St. Lawrence Market, located in Old Town, for some scrumptious and diverse bites. For the brave at heart, the CN Tower – the largest freestanding structure in the Western Hemisphere – is a must see and do. Strap on a harness and lean out from the Tower’s EdgeWalk for insane views of Toronto – from 116 stories up. Spend time shopping at the Toronto Eaton Centre, Toronto’s glass-enclosed mall. And make it your goal to visit the Hockey Hall of Fame, where the sport’s legends come to life.

Lastly, take a lazy drive along the scenic 35-mile Niagara Parkway to historic Niagara-onthe-Lake, gateway town to Ontario’s celebrated wine country. Often described as the prettiest town in Ontario, Niagara-on-the-Lake is a well-preserved 19th-century village and National Historic Site of Canada.

Just outside of town, discover Ontario’s Wine Country, home to over 100 wineries, plus farm-fresh restaurants and stunning natural scenery. Taste your way through exquisite Rieslings, Chardonnays, Sauvignon Blancs, Pinot Noirs, Merlots, and Cabernet Sauvignons, plus the region’s acclaimed signature specialty, ice wine, a luscious, intensely flavored wine made from grapes that have been left to freeze naturally on the vine. Make your leisurely return to Toronto.

Foodies will love savoring Toronto’s diverse cuisine in more than 5,000 eateries, with charming bistros and eclectic cafés rubbing shoulders with gourmet restaurants and artfully stocked wine cellars. You’ll find almost every style of international fare, including culinary delights in Chinatown, Little Italy, and Little India. In the winter months, shelter yourself from the cold and explore the PATH, the world’s largest underground walkway and shopping complex.

QUÉBEC

RICH HERITAGE & HISTORY, PLUS EURO-STYLE CULTURE SETS QUÉBEC APART

La Belle Province From its cobblestoned city streets and alpine villages, to its world-class slopes, forested woodlands, and icy waters, Québec is a romantic blend of Old-World French charm and unspoiled wilderness. Parlez-vous français? Combine Québec’s French heritage – it’s the only province in Canada where French is the sole official language – with its outdoor adventures, bustling festivals, charming cities, and untouched wilderness, and you have an alluring retreat ideal for enjoying four-season recreation and a unique culture.

Montréal A romantic, elegant testament to joie de vivre, Montréal is the second largest French-speaking city in the world (after Paris). The modern metropolis swirls with sleek skyscrapers, theaters, world-class events, glittering nightlife, and nearly 7,600 restaurants. Add to that worldclass events like The International Festival de Jazz, Montréal World Film Festival, and the high-speed Grand Prix du Canada auto race, drawing millions of visitors a year, distinctive dining, incredible nightlife, and shopping including the famed Underground City, where you’ll find more than 2,000 stores all safely protected from the elements.

Québec City Step into the streets of Québec City, and you’ll swear you’ve landed somewhere in Europe instead. The French language, the cobblestone alleyways, and the charming architecture add up to a serene beauty that you simply cannot find in any other North American city. Walk the streets of UNESCO World Heritage Old Town, the only remaining walled city north of Mexico, and take the funicular down to Lower Town’s Place-Royal, North America’s oldest neighborhood. And just outside the city, visitors can lose themselves in quaint, bucolic towns, scenic river drives, and sprawling, untamed parkland.

Tremblant The picturesque Laurentian Mountains form the backdrop to the pedestrian village of Tremblant, a pastiche of traditional-style alpine resorts, restaurants, and international boutiques. In winter, try your hand at everything from skiing, snowboarding, snowmobiling, and ice skating, to dog sledding, tubing, snowshoeing, and cross-country skiing. When springtime comes, visit a traditional “sugar shack,” to watch maple syrup tapped from trees and served with hearty, familystyle meals.

Head over to Rue Saint-Paul in Old Montréal, where art galleries line the cobblestone street. Spend time in the Notre-Dame Basilica, built in 1829, when you join the Montréal City Tour. Explore the residential and financial districts, the French Quarter, St. Joseph’s Oratory, and an outside view of Olympic Park, before taking in the panoramic view from the top of 754-foot Mont Real (Mount Royal). Old Montréal and the Old Port keep the port city ambiance alive. Narrow cobblestone streets are filled with art galleries, shops, and intimate restaurants. Ste-Catherine Street is a Fifth Avenue with French flair, and galleries and shops abound on Sherbrooke Street. Discover historic neighborhoods on the Flavors of “The Main” Tour. Don’t forget to sample Canada’s famous ice wine, and sit down for a lunch inspired by French cuisine.

Explore the fortified city including North America’s largest fort, La Citadelle, and the clifftop Battlefields Park, or view it from above on the City Helicopter Tour. If keeping your feet on the ground is a better option, take the Culinary Walking Tour and sample local delicacies like wine, cheese, and chocolate. The towering, iconic Fairmont Le Château Frontenac occupies an imposing position on the cliffs above the St. Lawrence River. With its green copper roof, gables, and turrets, it is one of the world’s most photographed hotels.

And if you haven’t yet experienced tourtière – a crusted, savory meat pie originating in Québec – you must sit down for this traditional French Canadian specialty before you leave. Depart Québec City, full of food and an unforgettable French Canadian experience.

Day 2: Québec City Spend the day in Old Québec and wander along cobblestone streets lined with 17th-century buildings. This charming quarter exudes a thoroughly European aura, with quaint boutiques, delightful bistros, and talented artists and performers.

Be sure to stop at Old Québec’s very own “castle,” the Fairmont Le Château Frontenac, a city icon since 1893, and generally recognized as the most photographed hotel in the world.
